You may be in the market for new furniture. If that’s the case, there’s a few things you should consider. When purchasing furniture, you should be looking for pieces that will last, at a price you can afford and will compliment your décor. This may be the first time you’re buying brand new, so don’t rush the process.
When looking around at all the choices out there, consider your lifestyle now and perhaps in the future. This will have a factor in what you should buy. For instance, you may be sharing the furniture with kids and pets so you should consider furniture that has darker shades and the fabric should be durable. This is the time to be realistic about your choice. The bright yellow arm chair you’re looking at may make a statement in your room, but in a year from now, there’s a pretty good chance you will be sick of it. Basically, stick with neutral colours for furniture because you will have those for a long time. You can accent the room with bold colours that can be changed easily.
In these post pandemic times, furniture stores are starting to open back up. However, it’s a good idea to call ahead to make sure they’re open and check their hours. Shopping online is convenient, but in-person browsing is best for furniture shopping. Just mask up and go for it. Perhaps take hand sanitizer with you. Smaller, specialty stores like The Futon Shop, are open with your safety top of mind.
In thinking about how your furniture will be used, a futon may be a wise decision. Especially if you are short on space and entertain overnight guests, futons can also be very cost efficient. They’re less expensive than the purchase of a sofa bed. Using a futon or two is very versatile in a studio apartment style space. Any room can be easily transformed to serve almost any purpose with one basic purchase. The one thing to remember about a futon purchase is that they combine a seating purpose with a place to sleep. They can be changed in the future with a change in the cover if you would like to refresh a room. Your best bet is to also look for a frame finish you’ll enjoy that will complement the space. You can generally choose pine, light or dark hardwood and metal. You can even choose the thickness of your mattress. Your futon specialist at The Futon Shop will be an invaluable source of information when you’ve made the decision to purchase a futon.
